VLC Media Player is a media player that lets you play any video or audio file on your device. This tool stands out for its compatibility with a wide range of files without installing codecs or additional programs. VLC Media Player has millions of users worldwide.

A simple and elegant design

One of the strengths of VLC Media Player is its simplicity. With its minimalistic interface design, VLC Media Player offers the full, hassle-free package for playing your favorite videos. With all the options it boasts, you can customize and configure it to your liking. Using its command line, VLC Media Player allows you to control playback by pressing different buttons on the keyboard without navigating the features panel at the top of the interface.

Support for a wide variety of files

Another point worth mentioning is that VLC Media Player is compatible with any multimedia file— from the most popular formats, such as MPEG, DivX, AVI, and MP3, to more specialized formats. VLC Media Player can play Bluray, DVD, or CD without any problems. If you have incomplete or corrupted audio or video files, VLC Media Player will play them back as best it can, something which other tools directly flag as a playback error. Thanks to this compatibility, you can play all types of files without converting them to other formats.

VLC Media Player is a free, open-source tool available for Windows, MacOS and Android platforms. Thanks to its functionality, capacity, and versatility, it is the favorite program of millions of users.
